My two new obsessions...

So, this semester of classes is called the cohort semester. I have like 6 classes and they each deal with the pedagogy of subjects- so like, how to teach math, how to teach literacy, etc. The fun thing is that its the same 25 girls from class to class. So we all know what's going on and we get to know each other really well. Then for about 5-6 weeks, starting at the end of February, we all go into a school and observe and do a little bit of teaching. Then next September is when I do my actual student teaching. There's my plan for this year. So yes.

But my obsession comes from my Social Studies class. My teacher has let us use her scholastic book order so we get children's books for super cheap, which is amazing. Children's books can be freaking expensive- when you think about a hardback book costs between $15-$20 and then you want as many as possible for your library. It adds up quick. So my obsession began with children's books. We'll get a new book order like 5 times or something this semester. With the first one, I bought 8-10 books. Then I got 6 books from something else (I can't remember). Then yesterday, I went and bought 8 paperback books from Barnes & Noble. Oh my gosh, it's soo fun. I keep reading them to Leo. I don't know if he gets the same satisfaction as I do. Last night, I read Skippy Jon Jones to him which requires a Spanish accent and it is sooo cute! He was kind of like "that's great honey...." But I love it!
My second obsession is from a christmas gift. My brother-in-law, Mike, got us a Wii! It is absolutely awesome. I've been trying really hard to always do my homework before I play, but I'm not perfect. I love the game, Puzzle Quest. Yes, I'm aware it's dorky. But it's so addictive!
